(Solved) ALERT! ALERT!

I wouldn't be going out near an animal you know is going to be aggressive in bare foot/open toed shoes. So that right there will fix the foot biting issue. But onto his behavior now. How old is this drake? I've personally never had a drake be that aggressive with me before. Though what I would do is what I do to my gander when he gets a little fiesty in the Spring; hold his beak shut (being careful not to cover his nostrils), pin him down to the ground till he stops resisting, and cover his eyes while doing so. If he starts biting again, then repeat. Repeat as many times as you have to.
It may take a few tries for him to get the message, but that's what works for me. It's also important to not show fear at all. They know when you're nervous/afraid/etc, and that adds to their behavior. You need to be the boss duck! Don't let him push you around like that.

Alternatively, as Latestarter suggested, you could cook the little bugger! :lau
Nooo! He's my little baby! I could never cook him! He is 1 year old in April.

Ah, if he's under a year old, his hormones are probably kicking in. If you don't mind my asking, how does he rip your shoes and gloves off? I don't think even my geese could do that lol. Maybe invest in some boots and thick work gloves then? That should help you out a little.

So I go to let them out for a swim, (just so you guys know when I said "throwing him into his pool" his "pool" is a 6,000 gallon pool.) and I go over where I sit every day, which is a rock where I can watch them, and while I'm walking over he runs with his head down, and I eventually have to stop because he does a criss-cross pattern. So I'm a straight line, and he's just running around me. And so, when I stop, he BITEEEESSSSS. And how he rips it off is he tears it at big rips at a time. Especially my gloves. So yeah... It hurts and I have bruised "love" pinches apparently they call them on my forearms, legs, feet, and hands. They look like chicken pox.
